Yeah, I guess it could lose a little in translation.
Was out drinking in a gaybar last night.
For the record, these are the things i WILL NOT be saying next time I go in there:
'Can someone push my stool in?'
'Ive never came in the back entrance before'
'Shall we toss for who gets the first round?'
'F@ck me, these drinks are expensive!'
'Bottoms up everyone!'
And before anyone starts complaining, No, im not homophobic.
Why would anyone be scared of houses?

Ive decided to post something on this topic again unfortunatley....

my 360 is sat on my driveway and is currently SORN.
Me and my dad just couldnt get her to start-so we ran a few tests-i.e checking for spark etc.Luckily I have a very helpful nieghbour whose a mechanic and hes doing me the favour of diagnosing,part fetching, and fixing.Looks like its a fuel pump-tbh it was bloody time-i think thats the only thing i havent got round to replcaing or that wasnt replaced in the last service lol.we will see tho.Hopefully it'll only be something minor like that

I'll keep ya all posted tho!

If this is a GLT, the fuel pump fuse is known for corroding, in a separate little fuse box not the main one, have a search as I can't remember it's location!

That's true, the little black box behind the battery.
What seemed to help for me, instead of cleaning out that box (when you're not at home, and you haven't got the time) is taking out the relais next to the battery (on the stand where the air-weight-valve (english word?) is also mounted), then start it for one or two seconds, replace the relais and then try agian. This worked fine for me 5/6 times and after that, i REALLY needed to clean the black fuse-box.
